the secretive group. from a new center in moscow this is the online on screen twenty four hours a day. the un security council has issued a stern rebuke to north korea over its third nuclear test as it held an emergency meeting in response to the test in defiance of international regulations. saying it plans to beef up the sanctions already in place for the previous nuclear drills and he said now he has more for us now the most powerful atomic experiment yet. so far strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov concerning this test by north korea urging the u.n.
12:02 pm
security council to respond immediately however at the same time warning that caution needs to be taken and escalation needs to be prevented we do this but i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the move will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous this as north korea is threatening further measures the reclusive state is saying this is only the beginning the first of several responses to what they call outrageous hostility coming from washington now the main concern is that this puts north korea one step closer to building a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a not long range missile capable of reaching the united states and so we're seeing and will continue to see strong reaction in the international community you have countries like russia pushing for dialogue and diplomacy and then partners in the west pushing for strong action what is the right way it's not for me certainly to
12:03 pm
answer it's a question that's on many people's mind is how do we go further and actually get something done this is a longstanding issue today's news of course was explosive really is passed to change the situation certainly that's what's expected to be on the table at the u.n. security council and let's not forget that many people are looking at this as a direct message from new leader kim jong un to president obama just hours before he gives the state of the union address and shortly president obama is going to react to this and most likely it's going to be by once again threatening sanctions and further isolation and the big question is is that enough to want to tear north korea from its nuclear ambitions and secondly is it safe if the reclusive state is in fact advancing its nuclear capabilities. well for more on this u.n. security council meeting let's now get to more from artie's going to cannes she is in washington for us what exactly came out of this emergency meeting and what is

the likely next step for the international community. well bill members of the u.n. security council have unanimously condemned north korea's nuclear test on tuesday strong words of condemnation coming from washington moscow beijing with china being north korea's ally and yet beijing has condemned the test together with all other members of the of the security council this universal condemnation will most probably be followed by sanctions north korea carried out nuclear test in two thousand and six in two thousand and nine which prompted the security council to impose sanctions including a ban on the import of nuclear and missile technology and an arms embargo getting approval on a new round of sanctions could take weeks. china condemned north korea's nuclear test council diplomats say beijing could be expected to put up some resistance to tough new sanctions to avoid angry north korea but probably that will happen with
12:05 pm
a within the next few weeks last month the security council adopted a resolution that existing sanctions against pyongyang in response to its december rocket launch so the world is very much in condemning these kinds of actions by north korea. governor thanks very much indeed going to judge cohen live in washington with the latest on north korea's nuclear test thanks very much indeed. for we've got a live timeline to keep you up to date on all the latest reactions and developments on that issue at all r.t. dot com website so the u.n. security council condemning that north korean nuclear exercise with pyongyang now facing the threat of further isolation director of global studies a hong kong university so i mean shinzo is that while beijing joined the worldwide criticism of the test they're likely to stand by the secretive state in the face of serious sanctions. knowledge which has the onion sewed in the in this region
12:06 pm
because of meant instability is the major form or as a principle of aging at this moment however due to the fact that the rising right has activities in japan and south korea in the reason beijing is seeing well korea has a new fact to balance against united states so it's known as does nods to coal interests of beijing and these kind of behavior is i mean would still be tolerated by beijing at this moment so as the new governments up south korea and japan are just being installed and then quit worrying makes use of this excuse to mobilize their own rightist ass collusion out was to put up their matric capabilities so. beijing but also matured a step and excuse to mobilize their own but assured him pain and then the results could be accommodation among all the poles in the region as more so than the old.
12:07 pm
